I want to get a back piece as my first tattoo. Is this a good idea or not? I am and art enthusiast and i want to replicate "the great red dragon and the woman clothed in sun" on my whole back. it looks like this:

I am wondering the time it takes, money it costs (for a great tattoo artist), and just your opinions on it. thanks guys

doesnt that have to do with Satan? Not that im against Satan or anything. I wouldnt recommend a full back piece as a first though. And it would be very expensive. couple thousand more than likely

do it. You'll enjoy the piece more than getting some crappy ass yin yang on your shoulder blade then wanting to cover it up

it'll take years and thousands of dollars

I got a backpiece as my first tattoo, and i couldnt be happier. But i will say it was risky. You must be prepared to endure pain and many, many hours of sitting still in a chair. Its definitely takes alot of commitment.

I don't like it cause it was in that movie, I just like the painting. It looks amazing and looks perfect for a backpiece. C'mon don't lie it looks awesome.

Ok it is a great painting, but I didnt realize it was real. But it has been eatin. You should get it and when you show people be like "Do you See!!! DO you SEE, I am transformed!!!?"

You would need one of the best artists for that to work out well, and If you have the money go for it

I think that's a great idea to do a back piece first.
